htaccess - redirect to ignore nested subdirectory and if possible make entire site non-www

I have an issue that's too complex for me to handle, but I'm betting someone has had to do this before, so please let me hear from you. ;)

Here's the situation:

I've got 1 main domain with 3 subdirectories that are nested within each other

(from top to bottom) http://main-domain.com then http://main-domain.com/company-name/ then http://main-domain.com/company-name/blog/

There's currently 3 .htaccess files -- 1 in each of the 3 directories shown above.

What's the problem?

Instead of having www.main-domain.com/company-name/blog/whatever, I'd like to have main-domain.com/blog/whatever

So, I want to drop the www AND more importantly, drop the middle subdirectory; i.e. /company-name/

I hope that the following examples will help to illustrate the point.

http://main-domain.com/company-name/index.php should be changed to http://main-domain.com/index.php

http://main-domain.com/company-name/blog/my-first-article/ should be changed to http://main-domain.com/blog/my-first-article/

Why do I need this?

I need a shorter URL that is more SEO-friendly. I have too many backlinks that use the 'old' urls, so I need to mod-rewrite them all.

Here are My Current 3 htaccess files

root htaccess: main-domain.com

Your correct and compact root .htaccess should be like this:

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^info.php - [L]

# match all the domains in single condition while www. is optional
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(domain1|domain2|domain3|main-domain)\.(com|tld)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^company-name/(.*)$ http://www.domain.tld/$1 [R=301,L,NC,NE]
  • R=301 will redirect with https status 301
  • L will make last rule
  • NE is for no escaping query string
  • NC is for ignore case comparison
  • $1 is your REQUEST_URI matching group
